Definitions
- This invention is directed to a holographic optical trapping system using optical traps generated by computer-established holograms to organize materials and apply microscope optics to inspect and analyze the materials in three dimensions (3-D). More particularly, a holographic video microscope system uses real-time resolved volumetric images of 3-D microstructures to carry out analysis and inspection of material assemblies.
- Holographic optical trapping uses computer-generated holograms to trap and organize micrometer-scale objects into arbitrary three-dimensional configurations.
- No complementary method has been available in the prior art for examining optically trapped structures except for conventional two-dimensional microscopy.
- Three-dimensional imaging would be useful for a variety of uses, such as verifying the structure of holographically organized systems before fixing them in place. It also would be useful for interactively manipulating and inspecting three-dimensionally structured objects such as biological specimens. Integrating three-dimensional imaging with holographic trapping might seem straightforward because both techniques can make use of the same objective lens to collect and project laser light, respectively.
- conventional three-dimensional imaging methods such as confocal microscopy, involve mechanically translating the focal plane through the sample.
- Holographic traps are positioned relative to the focal plane, and would move as well.
- the trapping pattern would have to be translated to compensate for the microscope's mechanical motion, which would add substantial complexity, would greatly reduce imaging speed, and would likely disrupt the sample undergoing examination and analysis.
- Digital holographic microscopy solves all of the prior art technical problems, providing real-time three-dimensional (3-D) imaging data without requiring any mechanical motion, including no need to translate the focal plane through the sample under analysis.
- a particularly compatible variant of in-line holographic microscopy replaces the conventional illuminator in a bright-field microscope with a collimated laser. Light scattered out of the laser beam by the object interferes with the remainder of the incident illumination to produce a heterodyne scattering pattern that is magnified by the objective lens and recorded with a video camera. This scattering pattern is a hologram of the trapped structure. Provided that this interference pattern is not obscured by multiple light scattering, it contains comprehensive information on the scatterers' three-dimensional configuration.
- Each two-dimensional snapshot in the resulting video stream encodes time-resolved volumetric information that can be analyzed directly, or decoded numerically into three-dimensional representations.
- This system and method enables ready commercial use of digital holographic microscopy in a holographic optical manipulation system, and uses the combined capabilities to directly assess both techniques' accuracy and establish any limitations.

- the system 10 is based on an inverted optical microscope (such as, Zeiss Axiovert S100-TV) outfitted with a 100 ⁇ NA 1.4 oil immersion objective lens 20 .
- This lens 20 is used both to project holographic optical traps, and also to collect in-line holographic images of trapped objects.
- Holographic traps are preferably powered by a frequency-doubled diode-pumped solid state laser 25 (such as, a Coherent Verdi) operating at a wavelength of 532 nm to generate input laser beam 30 .

- the modified trapping beam 40 then is relayed to the input pupil of the objective lens 20 and is focused into optical traps.
- the trapping beam 40 is preferably relayed to the objective lens 20 with a dichroic mirror 50 tuned to the trapping laser's wavelength. Other wavelengths pass through the dichroic mirror 50 and form images on a CCD camera 60 (such as, NEC TI-324AII).
- the system 10 further includes a computer 65 for manipulation of sensed image data and analyzing the image data by executing calculations of all equations provided herein by conventional software known in the art.
- the computer 65 can also include any conventional executable memory, such as a ROM, RAM, or other well known memory capable of storing a program, data or other instructions which can be executed to fulfill the analyzation functions described herein.
- FIG. 2A demonstrates holographic imaging of colloidal spheres 70 holographically trapped in a three-dimensional pattern.
- These 1.53 ⁇ m diameter silica spheres 70 (Bangs Labs Lot No. L011031B) are dispersed in a 50 ⁇ m thick layer of water confined within a slit pore formed by sealing the edges of a #1.5 cover slip to the surface of a clean glass microscope slide.
- Each of the spheres 70 is trapped in a separate point-like optical tweezer, and the individual optical traps are positioned independently in three dimensions.
- FIG. 2A shows a conventional bright-field image of the sphere or the particles 70 arranged in a focal plane.
- FIG. 2D shows the same field of view, but with laser illumination.
- Each of the particles 70 appears in this image as the coherent superposition of the laser light it scatters with the undiffracted portion of the input laser beam 30 .
- Other features in the image result from reflections, refraction and scattering by surfaces in the optical train of the system 10 . These can be minimized by subtracting off a reference image obtained with no particles or trapped structure in the field of view.
- Enough information is encoded in two-dimensional real-valued images such as FIGS. 2A-2E to at least approximately reconstruct the three-dimensional complex-valued light field.
- the image in FIG. 2E is an example showing a numerically reconstructed vertical cross-section through the array of particles 70 .
- This demonstrates the feasibility of combining holographic microscopy with holographic optical trapping.
- the reconstruction is consistent with the anticipated 45° inclination of the array, and with the calibrated 5.9 ⁇ m separation between the particles 70 .
- Intended particle coordinates are shown as circles superimposed on the image.
- This quantitative comparison demonstrates the utility of holographic microscopy for verifying holographic assemblies. Because holographic images, such as FIG. 2D , can be obtained at the full frame rate of the video camera 60 , holographic microscopy offers the benefit of real-time data acquisition over confocal and deconvolution microscopies.
- very accurate results can be obtained from use of the Rayleigh-Sommerfield formalism because holograms, such as in FIG. 2D form at ranges comparable to the light wavelength.
- the field u(r, z)) scattered by an object at height z above the microscope's focal plane propagates to the focal plane, where it interferes with the reference field, a(r), comprised of the undiffracted portion of the laser illumination.
- the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld propagator describing the object field's propagation along optical axis 80 is:
- the first term in Eq. (2) can be approximated by measuring the intensity when no objects are in the field of view.
- FIG. 2D was obtained by subtracting such a reference image from the measured interference pattern. If we further assume that the scattered field is much dimmer than the reference field, the second term in Eq. (2) dominates the third. In that case,
- H z ⁇ ( q ) exp ( ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ kz ⁇ [ 1 - ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ q 2 2 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ n ] 1 2 ) ( 7 )
- the second is an artifact that is increasingly blurred as z′ increases.
- Equation (9) can reconstruct a volumetric representation of the instantaneous light field in the sample under inspection from a single holographic snapshot, I(r).
- the image in FIG. 2E is a cross-section through the reconstructed intensity distribution, v(r,z) 2 .
- Each sphere in FIG. 2E appears as a bright axial streak centered on a relatively dark dimple at the object's three-dimensional position. Circles superimposed on FIG. 2E denote the intended three-dimensional positions of the spheres 70 , which were used to compute the trap-forming hologram that arranged the spheres 70 . The very good agreement between the optical traps' design and features in the resulting reconstructed field attests to the accuracy of both the projection and imaging methods.
- This representation has the benefit of most closely resembling the scattering field observed in conventional three-dimensional bright-field microscopy.
- the sphere in this case, is centered at the cusp between bright and dark regions. This crossover in the scattered field's sign creates a dark dimple in the intensity.
- Structure in the spheres' images along the axial direction can be analyzed to track the spheres 70 in z, as well as in x and y.
- the centroid is located in the null plane between the downstream intensity maximum and the upstream intensity minimum along the scattering pattern's axis.
- Holographic microscopy of colloidal particles therefore can be used to extract three-dimensional trajectories more accurately than is possible with conventional two-dimensional imaging and far more rapidly than with scanned three-dimensional imaging techniques.
- in-plane tracking can make use of conventional techniques, and tracking in depth requires additional computation but no additional calibration.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B demonstrate.
- the same pattern of the spheres 70 from FIGS. 2A-2E has been rotated by 90°, so that four of the spheres 70 are aligned along the optical axis 80 .
- FIG. 4A is a detail from the resulting hologram and
- FIG. 4B is the holographic reconstruction in the vertical plane of the structure.
- the central observation from FIG. 4B is that all four of the spheres 70 are resolved, even though they directly occlude each other.
- a fifth sphere 70 not directly occluded by the others was included as a reference, and is visible to the right of the others in FIGS. 4A and 4B .
- the uppermost spheres 70 in FIG. 4B appear substantially dimmer than those trapped closer to the focal plane; and FIGS. 4A and 4B compensate for this by presenting the amplitude
- the reference sphere 70 is no brighter than its occluded neighbor, and no dimmer than any of the spheres 70 in FIGS. 2A-2E . Rather, the lower spheres 70 act as lenses, gathering light scattered from above and focusing it onto the optical axis 80 . As a result, these spheres 70 appear substantially brighter than normal, and their images are distorted. Equation (9) does not take such multiple light scattering into account when reconstructing the light field.
- results can be mitigated by acquiring images from multiple focal planes, or by illuminating the sample under investigation from multiple angles, rather than directly in-line. Results also would be improved by more accurate recordings.
- Each pixel in our holographic images contains roughly six bits of usable information, and no effort was made to linearize the camera's response.
- the camera 60 was set to 1/2000 s shutter speed, which nonetheless allows for some particle motion during each exposure. A wider dynamic range, calibrated intensity response and faster shutter all would provide sharper, more accurate holograms, and thus clearer three-dimensional reconstructions.
- the image in FIG. 4B highlights the potential importance of holographic imaging for three-dimensional holographic manipulation.
- the most distant particle 70 appears displaced along the optical axis relative to the reference particle even though both were localized in optical tweezers projected to the same height.
- Three-dimensional visualizations confirm the structure of the projected trapping field. The apparent axial displacement was not evident for inclinations less than roughly 80°. It therefore reflects either a three-dimensional imaging artifact or, more likely, a real displacement of the particles 70 from their designed configuration. This is reasonable because light from the traps projected closer to the focal plane exerts forces on particles trapped deeper into the sample.

Description
- This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of U.S. Application 60/897,784 filed Jan. 26, 2007, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- This invention is directed to a holographic optical trapping system using optical traps generated by computer-established holograms to organize materials and apply microscope optics to inspect and analyze the materials in three dimensions (3-D).

- Holographic optical trapping uses computer-generated holograms to trap and organize micrometer-scale objects into arbitrary three-dimensional configurations. No complementary method has been available in the prior art for examining optically trapped structures except for conventional two-dimensional microscopy. Three-dimensional imaging would be useful for a variety of uses, such as verifying the structure of holographically organized systems before fixing them in place. It also would be useful for interactively manipulating and inspecting three-dimensionally structured objects such as biological specimens. Integrating three-dimensional imaging with holographic trapping might seem straightforward because both techniques can make use of the same objective lens to collect and project laser light, respectively. However, conventional three-dimensional imaging methods, such as confocal microscopy, involve mechanically translating the focal plane through the sample. Holographic traps, however, are positioned relative to the focal plane, and would move as well. The trapping pattern would have to be translated to compensate for the microscope's mechanical motion, which would add substantial complexity, would greatly reduce imaging speed, and would likely disrupt the sample undergoing examination and analysis.
- Digital holographic microscopy solves all of the prior art technical problems, providing real-time three-dimensional (3-D) imaging data without requiring any mechanical motion, including no need to translate the focal plane through the sample under analysis.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an integrated system 10 constructed in accordance with the invention. The system 10 is based on an inverted optical microscope (such as, Zeiss Axiovert S100-TV) outfitted with a 100× NA 1.4 oil immersion objective lens 20. This lens 20 is used both to project holographic optical traps, and also to collect in-line holographic images of trapped objects. Holographic traps are preferably powered by a frequency-doubled diode-pumped solid state laser 25 (such as, a Coherent Verdi) operating at a wavelength of 532 nm to generate input laser beam 30. A liquid crystal spatial light modulator 35 (such as a Hamamatsu PAL-SLM X7550) imprints the beam's wavefronts with phase-only holograms encoding the desired trapping pattern. The modified trapping beam 40 then is relayed to the input pupil of the objective lens 20 and is focused into optical traps. - The trapping beam 40 is preferably relayed to the objective lens 20 with a
dichroic mirror 50 tuned to the trapping laser's wavelength. Other wavelengths pass through thedichroic mirror 50 and form images on a CCD camera 60 (such as, NEC TI-324AII). In a most preferred embodiment a standard combination of incandescent illuminator and condenser lens 62 has been replaced with a helium-neon laser providing 5 mW collimated beam of coherent light at a wavelength of λ=632 nm in air. The system 10 further includes a computer 65 for manipulation of sensed image data and analyzing the image data by executing calculations of all equations provided herein by conventional software known in the art. The computer 65 can also include any conventional executable memory, such as a ROM, RAM, or other well known memory capable of storing a program, data or other instructions which can be executed to fulfill the analyzation functions described herein. -
FIG. 2A demonstrates holographic imaging of colloidal spheres 70 holographically trapped in a three-dimensional pattern. These 1.53 μm diameter silica spheres 70 (Bangs Labs Lot No. L011031B) are dispersed in a 50 μm thick layer of water confined within a slit pore formed by sealing the edges of a #1.5 cover slip to the surface of a clean glass microscope slide. Each of the spheres 70 is trapped in a separate point-like optical tweezer, and the individual optical traps are positioned independently in three dimensions.FIG. 2A shows a conventional bright-field image of the sphere or the particles 70 arranged in a focal plane. Projecting a sequence of holograms with the trapping positions slightly displaced enables us to rotate the entire pattern in three dimensions, as shown inFIG. 2B . As the particles 70 move away from the focal plane, their images blur, as can be seen inFIG. 2C . It is difficult to determine from this image whether the most distant particles 70 are present at all. -
FIG. 2D shows the same field of view, but with laser illumination. Each of the particles 70 appears in this image as the coherent superposition of the laser light it scatters with the undiffracted portion of the input laser beam 30. Other features in the image result from reflections, refraction and scattering by surfaces in the optical train of the system 10. These can be minimized by subtracting off a reference image obtained with no particles or trapped structure in the field of view. - Enough information is encoded in two-dimensional real-valued images such as
FIGS. 2A-2E to at least approximately reconstruct the three-dimensional complex-valued light field. The image inFIG. 2E is an example showing a numerically reconstructed vertical cross-section through the array of particles 70. This demonstrates the feasibility of combining holographic microscopy with holographic optical trapping. The reconstruction is consistent with the anticipated 45° inclination of the array, and with the calibrated 5.9 μm separation between the particles 70. Intended particle coordinates are shown as circles superimposed on the image. This quantitative comparison demonstrates the utility of holographic microscopy for verifying holographic assemblies. Because holographic images, such asFIG. 2D , can be obtained at the full frame rate of the video camera 60, holographic microscopy offers the benefit of real-time data acquisition over confocal and deconvolution microscopies. - In a most preferred embodiment, very accurate results can be obtained from use of the Rayleigh-Sommerfield formalism because holograms, such as in
FIG. 2D form at ranges comparable to the light wavelength. The field u(r, z)) scattered by an object at height z above the microscope's focal plane propagates to the focal plane, where it interferes with the reference field, a(r), comprised of the undiffracted portion of the laser illumination. The Rayleigh-Sommerfeld propagator describing the object field's propagation along optical axis 80 is: -
- where R2=r2+Z2 and k=2πn/λ is the light's wavenumber in a medium of refractive index n. The field in the focal plane is the convolution u(r,0) {circle around (X)}hz(r). The observed interference pattern, therefore, is
- The first term in Eq. (2) can be approximated by measuring the intensity when no objects are in the field of view.
FIG. 2D was obtained by subtracting such a reference image from the measured interference pattern. If we further assume that the scattered field is much dimmer than the reference field, the second term in Eq. (2) dominates the third. In that case, -
- provides a reasonable basis for reconstructing u(r). Ghosting can be minimized by translating trapped structures away from the focal plane.
- Analyzing Eq. (3) can be simplified by assuming a(r)=1 for the reference field. In our application, however, the illuminating laser trapping beam 40 passes through an inhomogeneous sample before reaching the focal plane. Any resulting amplitude variations can be eliminated by normalizing I(r) with |a(r)|. Structure in the illumination's phase cannot be compensated in this way, and must be assumed to vary more gradually than any features of interest.
- Reconstructing the three-dimensional intensity field is most easily performed using the Fourier convolution theorem, according to which
-
- where U(q) is the Fourier transform of u(r, 0) and
-
- is the Fourier transform of the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld propagator.
- The estimate for the Fourier transform of the object field at height z′ above the focal plane is obtained by applying the appropriate Rayleigh-Sommerfeld propagator to translate the effective focal plane:
-
B(q)H−z′(q)≈U(q)Hz−z′(q)+U*(q)H−z−z′(q) (8) - The first term in Eq. (8) is the reconstructed field, which comes into best focus when z′=z. The second is an artifact that is increasingly blurred as z′ increases. Unfortunately, this term creates a mirror image around the plane z=0 with the result that objects below the focal plane cannot be distinguished from objects above. This ghosting is apparent in
FIG. 2E . - Our final estimate for the complex light field at height z above the focal plane is
-
- Equation (9) can reconstruct a volumetric representation of the instantaneous light field in the sample under inspection from a single holographic snapshot, I(r). The image in
FIG. 2E is a cross-section through the reconstructed intensity distribution, v(r,z)2. - Each sphere in
FIG. 2E appears as a bright axial streak centered on a relatively dark dimple at the object's three-dimensional position. Circles superimposed onFIG. 2E denote the intended three-dimensional positions of the spheres 70, which were used to compute the trap-forming hologram that arranged the spheres 70. The very good agreement between the optical traps' design and features in the resulting reconstructed field attests to the accuracy of both the projection and imaging methods. - Contrary to previous reports in the prior art, images such as those in
FIGS. 3A to 3F suggest that the axial resolution of our holographic reconstruction approaches the diffraction-limited in-plane resolution.FIG. 3A shows a hologram obtained for one of the spheres 70 held by an optical tweezer at height z=17 μm above the focal plane.FIG. 3B is an axial section through the real part of field reconstructed from {v(r,z)}=|(r,z)| cos (Φ(r, z)). This representation has the benefit of most closely resembling the scattering field observed in conventional three-dimensional bright-field microscopy. The sphere, in this case, is centered at the cusp between bright and dark regions. This crossover in the scattered field's sign creates a dark dimple in the intensity. - The effective axial resolution can be assessed by scanning the sphere past the focal plane and stacking the resulting images to create a volumetric data set.
FIG. 3C is a hologram of the same sphere fromFIG. 3A at z=0. Compiling a sequence of such images in axial steps of Δ=0.122 μm yields the axial section inFIG. 3D . - Structure in the spheres' images along the axial direction can be analyzed to track the spheres 70 in z, as well as in x and y. For the micrometer-scale particles or the spheres 70 studied here, for example, the centroid is located in the null plane between the downstream intensity maximum and the upstream intensity minimum along the scattering pattern's axis. Holographic microscopy of colloidal particles therefore can be used to extract three-dimensional trajectories more accurately than is possible with conventional two-dimensional imaging and far more rapidly than with scanned three-dimensional imaging techniques. In particular, in-plane tracking can make use of conventional techniques, and tracking in depth requires additional computation but no additional calibration.
- Analyzing images becomes far more challenging when objects occlude each other along the optical axis, as
FIGS. 4A and 4B demonstrate. Here, the same pattern of the spheres 70 fromFIGS. 2A-2E has been rotated by 90°, so that four of the spheres 70 are aligned along the optical axis 80.FIG. 4A is a detail from the resulting hologram andFIG. 4B is the holographic reconstruction in the vertical plane of the structure. The central observation fromFIG. 4B is that all four of the spheres 70 are resolved, even though they directly occlude each other. A fifth sphere 70, not directly occluded by the others was included as a reference, and is visible to the right of the others inFIGS. 4A and 4B . - The uppermost spheres 70 in
FIG. 4B appear substantially dimmer than those trapped closer to the focal plane; andFIGS. 4A and 4B compensate for this by presenting the amplitude |v(r,z)|, rather than the intensity, of the light field. The reference sphere 70, however, is no brighter than its occluded neighbor, and no dimmer than any of the spheres 70 inFIGS. 2A-2E . Rather, the lower spheres 70 act as lenses, gathering light scattered from above and focusing it onto the optical axis 80. As a result, these spheres 70 appear substantially brighter than normal, and their images are distorted. Equation (9) does not take such multiple light scattering into account when reconstructing the light field. - The resulting uncertainty in interpreting such results can be mitigated by acquiring images from multiple focal planes, or by illuminating the sample under investigation from multiple angles, rather than directly in-line. Results also would be improved by more accurate recordings. Each pixel in our holographic images contains roughly six bits of usable information, and no effort was made to linearize the camera's response. The camera 60 was set to 1/2000 s shutter speed, which nonetheless allows for some particle motion during each exposure. A wider dynamic range, calibrated intensity response and faster shutter all would provide sharper, more accurate holograms, and thus clearer three-dimensional reconstructions.
- With these caveats, the image in
FIG. 4B highlights the potential importance of holographic imaging for three-dimensional holographic manipulation. The most distant particle 70 appears displaced along the optical axis relative to the reference particle even though both were localized in optical tweezers projected to the same height. Three-dimensional visualizations confirm the structure of the projected trapping field. The apparent axial displacement was not evident for inclinations less than roughly 80°. It therefore reflects either a three-dimensional imaging artifact or, more likely, a real displacement of the particles 70 from their designed configuration. This is reasonable because light from the traps projected closer to the focal plane exerts forces on particles trapped deeper into the sample. This effect is exacerbated by particles trapped closer to the focal plane, which deflect light onto more distant particles, altering their effective potential energy wells. This effect has been exploited for in-line optical binding of particles trapped along thread-like Bessel beams. Holographic imaging provides a means for measuring such distortions, and thus a basis for correcting them. This can be critically important for processes such as the holographic assembly of photonic heterostructures which rely on accurate placement of microscope such particles or other objects. - The foregoing description of embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description.
